Metacritic reviews

About as good as the genre gets.

A splattery futuristic zombie thriller, designed as a jolt-a-minute freakout for young audiences who were numbed into submission long ago.

Is this the future of horror or just some bizarre fluke? Don't ask me, I'm having too much fun to care.

Evil's one strong presence is lead Milla Jovovich -- and not because the script gives her supercop/soldier anything interesting to say.

Handsome and sometimes creepy, but formulaic in the extreme.

While computer games can boast an abundance of nifty graphics and odious villains and plucky protagonists on long journeys, they're invariably a tad wanting in the cinematic essentials -- you know, stuff like plot and characterization and theme.

In the end, it all looks and plays like a $40 million version of a game you're more likely to enjoy on a computer.

The movie has a frantic staccato style that is more game-oriented than cinematic.

The movie is "Dawn of the Dead" crossed with "John Carpenter's "Ghosts of Mars," with zombies not as ghoulish as the first and trains not as big as the second. The movie does however have Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez.

Mildly grisly, assaultively noisy and tremendously boring.
